Sermons on the Gospel of Luke (VII) - THE RIGHTEOUS SERVANTS OF GOD REVEALED IN THE LAST AGE

1. We Should Be Aware of And Be Loyal to The King of All Kings (Luke 19:12-27)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:43:00 +0000

The Lord came to this earth and saved from sin those who are childlike. Then what does it mean that He saved such childlike people? It means God saved those who simply believed and followed what the Lord said without any doubt. Those who believe in God whole-heartedly do not have worldly desires. Because they do not have any attachment to the world, they think this way: “What is life? What am I? Where did I come from and where am I going? Why am I living? Do I live to eat? Or do I eat to live? The life that I see from birth through death is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears shortly. Life seems so meaningless. Things that are in this world are meaningless. As the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes said, ‘Vanity of vanities, all is vanity’ (Ecclesiastes 1:2).”

2. Let Us Thank the Lord for His Grace in Choosing Us (Luke 19:28-40)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:42:00 +0000

Today’s Scripture passage records an episode that occurred while Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem to be nailed to the Cross. When Jesus reached Bethany, He said to His disciples, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’” Having heard this, the disciples went to the village and did what Jesus asked them to do.

3. The Lord Has Need of You (Luke 19:28-40)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:41:00 +0000

The Scripture passage that we read today describes what Jesus said after giving the parable of the minas on His way to Jerusalem to bear the punishment of the Cross. It’s written here: “And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, saying, ‘Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’’” Here, the Lord told the disciples to bring a colt and tell anyone who asks about it, “Because the Lord has need of it.” Let us focus on this part and meditate on the will of the Lord that’s revealed here.

5. Do You Have Hope for The Millennial Kingdom? (Luke 20:27-38)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:40:00 +0000

Many people living in this world today just live in hopelessness. However, I want to speak through this Word of God about the fact that we do not have hopelessness. As beautiful flowers blossom in the field after the storm has passed through, I believe the Millennial Kingdom of our Lord will begin again at that time even when the world is destroyed. That is why I who have such faith can always live with hope for the Kingdom of Heaven.

4. Let Us Become Those Who Quench the Lord’s Thirst (Luke 19:28-40)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:40:00 +0000

My foremost wish is for the gospel of the water and the Spirit to be spread throughout the whole world as soon as possible. It’s my heart’s desire for the true gospel to be spread as quickly as possible, and to thus quench God’s thirst and ours as well. For a while, the spreading of the gospel of the water and the Spirit seemed to go so slowly that I felt quite impatient, but recently the speed has picked up considerably. But given the fact there are over six billion people living in this world, there needs to be a lot more people ordering our books for the gospel to be spread to the end of the world.

6. Believe in the Word of God’s Righteousness (Luke 21:5-38)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:39:00 +0000

How have you been, everyone? Christmas is around the corner. After the Christmas passes, we will also have a worship service on the New Year’s Eve to close out this year. Then, another year will have passed and we will greet a new year. I feel a little sentimental as I think that a year has gone by as if it was one night. Time went by so fast as we ran about here and there doing God’s work that we are already facing the end of the year. I think the year will go by even faster next year. And the year after next year will go by faster than that, and the following year will go by even faster. I believe we will meet the Lord soon as time passes by so fast like that. As we look back on this year, we have accomplished many things and we were busy with many things, but, anyway, the time has gone by too fast.

7. Jesus Is the Almighty God (Luke 22:7-38)

9. Do Not Weep for Me, But Weep for Yourselves And for Your Children (Luke 23:26-38)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:37:00 +0000

What is the most fearful thing in our spiritual life? What is the biggest enemy, the biggest adversary, in our spiritual life? It’s our fleshly thinking. Our fleshly thinking constantly comes up and harasses us. Our fleshly thinking continues to spring up until we are transformed into new flesh. Therefore, it is easy for us to follow our fleshly thinking and we consequently end up becoming an adversary of Jesus even though we know and believe in Jesus. It is because we cannot think of the spiritual things when we fall into fleshly thinking. If that is the case, we end up turning our backs to Jesus because our faith gradually withers away and eventually dies. We become like Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus at the end even though he was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus.

8. Pray to Jesus to Defeat Great Temptations to Come by Faith (Luke 22:39-46)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:37:00 +0000

Our Lord tells you and me to pray lest we may fall into temptation. The word “temptation” here means experiencing difficulties. The Lord is telling us to stay awake and pray always lest we fall into such temptation. Moreover, the Lord also said God blesses those who endure temptation.
The Lord said, “But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you the Kingdom, just as My Father bestowed it upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Furthermore, the Lord said that He would definitely reward His people who have experienced difficulties together with the Lord.

10. He Who Endures to The End Shall Be Saved (Luke 23:26-49)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:36:00 +0000

People commonly refer to Jesus as the King of Righteousness, the King of kings. Today, I want to share words with you, the words about the topic, “Our Lord as the King of Righteousness.”
When we look at today’s Scripture passage, we can witness the scene of Jesus carrying the Cross up the Golgotha Hills to receive the penalty of the Cross. There was a large multitude of crowd weeping and lamenting that followed Jesus when Jesus carried the Cross up the Golgotha Hills like that. They wept and pounded their chests in lamentation. We also can see all kinds of scenes including the scene that a Cyrenean man from the country came to Jerusalem at the time and he even carried for Jesus the wooden Cross that Jesus was carrying and followed Jesus.

11. The Resurrected Lord Has Given Us The Hope of Resurrection (Luke 24:13-53)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:35:00 +0000

How are you, everyone? Luke, the disciple of Jesus, who recorded today’s Scripture passage, was really meek in temperament. On the contrary, Mark who recorded the Gospel of Mark had a very strong faith and he was ingenuous. And Matthew who was a tax collector was logical in his argument, so he recorded the wonderful Word of God called the Gospel of Matthew after becoming a disciple of Jesus. Matthew consistently recorded all the events that occurred around Jesus from a perspective of Jesus’ Kingship. However, among the disciples of Jesus, the one who was closest to the Lord spiritually and had prudent character was probably the Apostle John. John who was closest to the Lord spiritually and had the upright faith in God recorded Jesus Christ as God; he recorded the work of Jesus Christ during 33 years of His life from the highest perspective.

12. Think of the Work of God (Luke 24:36-53)

The New Life Mission — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 07:34:00 +0000

How have you been, brothers and sisters? Easter is drawing near. I am preaching about Easter so early because I think it is beneficial for us to do everything before others. Also, I am preaching the Word from today’s Scripture passage because I think it is more beneficial for us to understand and believe the things the Lord had done when He came to this world and the things that will happen in the future, rather than being sad and fasting for the season of Lent is here.
